I'm pretty sure 60,000 of these views are from my sister trying to get my nephew to calm down and fall asleep. This is the only thing that works every time.
"She knew they were destined to become sacred roadkill on the way". That is the most beautiful, insightful, glorious thing I have ever heard. "She named the baby elvis to make up of the royalty he lacked". Oh. It makes my heart skip a beat. It is just so beautiful. Why can't all music be like this?
Been listening to this album for 15 years and I still chuckle every time on the "she thought about this irony..." part. This song is just perfect. A true poet, our Regina is. :)
I always thought by roadkill she meant having sex with someone she really isnt into. Thats what the term roadkill is used. At least to my knowledge. On which case its so sad...
I get the feeling that this song is about a mother lamenting bringing a child into the world. The "cold Campbell's from the can" seems to refer to half-assed or cheap meals and the line about playing with matches seems to refer to creating life (life being the spark of flame) but he, the father of her child, isn't there anymore. She calls herself an asshole for assuming her child would be special and later on having to "blow out" his dreams and wishes while simultaneously wanting another kid because she can't see a life outside of being a mother anymore. Anyways that's just my interpretation. A beautiful and heartbreaking song however you look at it.
And after listening to this song, I will never take the rain for granted again. The line "And it was raining cats and dogs outside of her window, and she knew they were destined to become sacred roadkill on the way," is so beautiful to me...
This song hits right at the heart. Regina makes me experience things I wouldn't have to experience anyway, warning me. Touching. Right. At. The. Heart. And. The. Brain. Mostly.
@meavis11 , thanks for watching and commenting =] i love regina too, her songs are great. to make this video i just scanned in all the drawings and used paint & picasa to crop and edit all the slides. then i just stuck them in windows movie maker. hope that helps! =)
I'm pretty sure that the line is "thinkin about poodles & puddles," cause you know... raining cats & DOGS... poodles & puddles.. haha. If it is really "puddles & puddles" I'm gonna be very sad because that has been one of my favorite lyrics ever. Lol.
@con3ct , i'm glad you liked it and got something from it. also, i'm in the middle of making a new video right now, but i'd love to do "happier" next, i really like a fine frenzy =]
i would love it if she went back to composing music like this again. i would watch her in concert but i don't really like anything after begin to hope...so there's that
wow this is more that just a song and she is more that just a singer. she has to be some angle of some kind because no one has a sole as beautiful as her

I imagine a girl and a boy who were both the second choices, so in loneliness they comforted eachother, even in knowing it will almost certainly end in disaster. They didn't love each other, they just wanted a shoulder to cry on, however a baby was born of them so a shotgun wedding between them happened. As the child grew the boy and girl still never loved eachother, they fought every night, but stayed together for Elvis. After years the boy died, and the girl was left in her old age, alone, wondering could she start all over. And despite living for years, finally starting to find herself.
well done, 1st attempt ud never know it like, keep it up and continue making videos lol, fucking good choice of song by the way it is my favourite song of all time ever!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU REGINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i realy loved this video, its realyy cute!!! i love regina and this song is amazing!! how did you make it??? i've been trying to make an animated video like this but they never work out!!
A single mother thinks back at her life choices. She seems to regret most of it and she and her previous partner seem to have had destructive habits, which probably contributed to their separation.
I'm pretty sure 60,000 of these views are from my sister trying to get my nephew to calm down and fall asleep. This is the only thing that works every time.
She has effortless control over her voice and i'm just asdfghjkl over the beauty of it.
"She knew they were destined to become sacred roadkill on the way". That is the most beautiful, insightful, glorious thing I have ever heard. "She named the baby elvis to make up of the royalty he lacked". Oh. It makes my heart skip a beat. It is just so beautiful. Why can't all music be like this?

A true poet, our Regina is. :)
I personally love how the last note sounds a little unsure, like she's really thinking about the lyrics.
I always thought by roadkill she meant having sex with someone she really isnt into. Thats what the term roadkill is used. At least to my knowledge. On which case its so sad...
I love how she can make something so vague in to something beautiful.
Ashley De La Cruz gives mystery to her songs :)

Almost in tears right now. Such a gorgeous song. I learned how to play this song on the piano. I just need more practice
Good for you! Keep going! :)
regina is almost too talented.... she must have only been 19 when she made this. at the age of 20, i am in awe.
I'm a die-hard Regina fan and I've somehow never heard this song before.... I love it!
the mini bridge! makes me cry all the time. I don't know why just felt something every time I played it. very relaxing!
Just sitting here and trying to decipher what's written in Braille upon my skin.....
Oh God Regina, gorgeous...!!!!!
it’s been ten years since i first listened to this song in my old house, and now i’m 21 years old gosh
i'm so glad i found this song when i was a kid
most beautiful, insightful, incredible song ever! brings me to tears every time
you need so much more recognition. I so absolutley love your doodles!
my heart is crying rn
Beautifully done..thank you!
Am I the only one who cries every time they listen to this song?
no, you're not. And English it's not even my first language.
Its a good 50%ish for me.
This song hits right at the heart. Regina makes me experience things I wouldn't have to experience anyway, warning me. Touching. Right. At. The. Heart. And. The. Brain. Mostly.

This comment made me smile so big I totally hear "poodles and puddles"

This song is beautiful...I love her old style. I love all of her music, but her old music was so much more meaningful.
This honestly reminds me of my self harm problem

Regina is one of the best--if not THE best--thing(s)--ever to come out of the USSR. 11/25/2016

I wish that I could solve with pen

How the reason for the words went blind

I was always wondering why there are UFO's flying around notes. I just got it.
At least 20 of these views are mine. :3
This song is amazing, and I could connect because my cousin was 16 and pregnant, I felt sympathy for her
Hermosa canción

I still like your cute drawing style.

good solid work :)
I can't belive she isn't on the radio (from what I've listened to) and freaking people like Justin Bieber is (sorry if you like his music I dont)
Ikr
well done, 1st attempt ud never know it like, keep it up and continue making videos lol, fucking good choice of song by the way it is my favourite song of all time ever!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU REGINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@att0006 By "This is a stupid song" do you mean that you are too simple to appreciate it?
i don't think you can find a physical copy of the album (look for it, i might be wrong) but you can get it on iTunes.
Creo que estoy enamorada (*-*)
@tinydoodlez yeah thanks alot ill give it a try!!
oh, so cute :)
Thank you to treasa mcdonald for showing me this awesommme song. Im in love!
i realy loved this video, its realyy cute!!! i love regina and this song is amazing!! how did you make it??? i've been trying to make an animated video like this but they never work out!!
I know what it is to play with matches and end up with braille on your arms... same with blades and railroads.
@tinydoodlez how do you do this?!
Very nice video :))
Cute! !:)
@mmaarrccy thanks pal :)
what font is it?
I am listening to her because of 500 Days of Summer. Anyone else?
It's just he's not around to play along yeah I'm still an asshole playing with candles blowing out wishes blowing out dreams, oh so true
Can someone explain this song to me?
Samantha Anderson I think it's about a mother who's life fell before her eyes.
A single mother thinks back at her life choices. She seems to regret most of it and she and her previous partner seem to have had destructive habits, which probably contributed to their separation.
you're scarred for life because of a youtube video? and you really think people are going to start hating youtube over a song? i mean really.
This reminds me of my brother and his girlfriend
